Involuntary Mouselook

[Bassrita]

Hello. I'm using the latest Firestorm build and, before this one, I had never had this problem. Each time I press the letter M while not in the chat window, my avatar goes into mouselook. Normally, I just had to roll the mouse wheel forward to get into mouselook and backwards to exit it. I tried toggling the options on and off in Preferences > Mouselook but either I have mouselook and go into it when I simply press M or I don't have mouselook at all, even zooming in with the mouse wheel. I've activated and deactivated everything, tried restoring defaults, nothing works. One important thing is that, before this update, I had some slappers which were supposed to work when pressing letters C and V. They had never worked (I never bothered to see why as I didn't need them). However, now they work every single time I press those letters, just like with the mouseview. Something has changed and I can't seem to be able to find it. 

Maybe this question is dumb and easy to solve, but I've been checking in other posts, also online, and never found anything that helped.

Any clues?

I've found this information on Firestorm's wiki (https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/fs_mouselook):

«First of all, check to be sure that mouselook functionality is enabled in Preferences → Move & View -> Mouselook → Enable Mouselook functionality.

Now, mouselook may be activated in a few ways:

• Use your mouse wheel to scroll forward, until mouselook kicks in. (You can exit mouselook the same way, by scroll back with your mousewheel.)
  NOTE: Make sure that Preferences → Move & View -> View → Don't use mouse wheel to control zoom level of the camera is not enabled!
• By using the 'm' key on your keyboard. However, this requires that WASD movement be enabled, which is done in Preferences → Move & View -> Movement → Pressing letter keys affects Movement.
• Open the camera controls floater: top menu, Avatar → Camera Controls. Click on the Mouselook button (looks like a computer mouse), 5th from the left.
• Via top menu bar → Advanced¹⁾ → Shortcuts → Mouselook.»

And on this page (https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/fs_preferences_move_tab?redirect=1#movement😞

 

«Mouselook can be entered either by scrolling forward with your mousewheel, or by using the 'M' key on your keyboard (which first equires enabling WASD for movement, in Preferences->General), or from top menu, Advanced → Shortcuts.»

 

Apparently, WASD is activated in the preferences. Look in the mentioned tabs/pages and check if that's the case. You could also go to the Advanced menu and change the shortcuts to deactivate the M letter as a shortcut.

Thank you very much. However, the problem in my case is that WASD movement is NOT activated, as you can see on my screenshot attached.

OK. Maybe there's a glitch with another software or update you've made lately on your computer. I had it in the past. Maybe changing the shortcuts in SL could solve your issue. Or a clean re-install of Firestorm.

I thought about that too. It's very strange. I press W, S, A or D when the WASD movement option is disabled and that starts the chat. However, I press letter M and nothing happens, that also starts the chat. However, when I'm on my inventory and want to look for something, I write something to look for it or type to go to the first letter of the item and it goes into mouselook. It does it randomly too. I tried toggling WADS movement on, then off, and sort of. I haven't installed anything recently and this only happens since I last updated Firestorm. Am I the only one suffering this?

I haven't noticed anything weird since I updated Firestorm. Have you tried asking in their support group?
